Stand, der TechnikState of the art
Die Erfindung geht von einem Fahrzeugsystem nach der Gattung des unabhängigen Patentanspruchs aus.The invention is based on a vehicle system according to the type of the independent claim.
Fahrzeugsysteme mit an ihrer Front angeordneten Bedieneinrichtungen, umfassend Bedien- und Anzeigeelemente, sind beispielsweise von Autoradiogeräten, die zur Installation und zum Betrieb in einem Kraftfahrzeug vorgesehen sind, bekannt. Diese verfügen regelmäßig an ihrer Front, also im eingebauten Zustand dem Fahrzeugführer zugewandten Seite über Bedien- und Anzeigeelemente. Zum Zweck des Diebstahlschutzes bzw. des Schutzes vor einer unberechtigten Inbetriebnahme nach einem Diebstahl des Geräts verfügen diese häufig über abnehmbare Bedienteile (release panel), ohne die eine Bedienung der Geräte nicht möglich ist. Weiterbildungen solcher Autoradiogeräte sehen vor, dass anstelle des gesamten Bedienteils nur ein Teil desselben von dem Autoradiogerät lösbar ausgestaltet ist. Solche Geräte sind beispielsweise aus dem Prospekt „GRUMDIG Car Audio, Gesamtprogramm 1996" bekannt geworden. Diese Lösung hat gegenüber herkömmlichen Release Panels den Vorteil, dass der Fahrzeugführer bei Verlassen des Fahrzeugs nur einen gegenüber dem gesamten Bedienteil vergleichsweise kleinen Teil des Bedienteils, beispielsweise nur Teile derVehicle systems with control devices arranged on their front, comprising control and display elements, are known, for example, from car radio devices which are provided for installation and operation in a motor vehicle. These regularly have controls and indicators on their front, i.e. in the installed state facing the driver. For the purpose of theft protection or protection against unauthorized start-up after the theft of the device, these often have removable control panels (release panel), without which the devices cannot be operated. Further developments of such car radio devices provide that instead of the entire operating part, only a part of the same is designed to be detachable from the car radio device. Such devices have become known, for example, from the brochure "GRUMDIG Car Audio, Complete Program 1996". This solution has the advantage over conventional release panels that when the vehicle is left the driver only has a part of the control unit that is comparatively small compared to the entire control unit, for example only parts the

So können beispielsweise die dem Benutzer besonders wichtigen, weil beispielsweise besonders häufig benötigtenAdvantages of the invention A vehicle system according to the invention with the features of the independent patent claim has the advantage that its control device, also as a control front or HMI (Human Machine Interface), can be designed or modified within limits according to the preferences of the user. For example, those that are particularly important to the user, because, for example, are required particularly frequently
Bedienelemente an vom Fahrersitz des Kraftfahrzeugs aus besonders leicht zu erreichender Position innerhalb der Bedienfront angeordnet werden. Auch kann beispielsweise eine LCD-Anzeigeeinrichtung innerhalb der Bedienfront beispielsweise vorteilhaft so positioniert werden, dass das Ablesen der Anzeigeeinrichtung beeinträchtigende Streulichtreflexe vermieden oder zumindest verringert werden.Operating elements are arranged in a position within the operating front that is particularly easy to reach from the driver's seat of the motor vehicle. An LCD display device, for example, can also advantageously be positioned within the operating front, for example, in such a way that scattered light reflections which impair reading of the display device are avoided or at least reduced.
Schließlich kann auch der Wunsch nach einer Umgestaltung der Bedienfront dem Geschmacksempfinden des Benutzers entspringen.Finally, the desire for a redesign of the control front can also arise from the user's taste sensation.
Vorteilhaft ist dazu vorgesehen, dass alle Module der Bedieneinrichtung jeweils eine gleiche Breite oder ein ganzzahliges Vielfaches dieser Breite aufweisen. Sind zusätzlich die Schnittstellen zur Kontaktierung der Module auf dem Modulträger zur Aufnahme der Module um jeweils die Breite der Module voneinander beabstandet und sind ferner alle Schnittstellen dazu ausgebildet, alle Module unabhängig von deren konkreter Funktion zu kontaktieren, können die Module vorteilhaft beliebig untereinander ausgetauscht werden.It is advantageously provided that all modules of the operating device each have the same width or an integral multiple of this width. If, in addition, the interfaces for contacting the modules on the module carrier for receiving the modules are spaced apart by the width of the modules, and if all interfaces are designed to contact all modules regardless of their specific function, the modules can advantageously be interchanged as desired.
Vorteilhaft kann zumindest eines der Module der Bedieneinrichtung einen Codespeicher enthalten, so dass durch Entnahme dieses oder eines dieser Module eine Diebstahlschutzfunktion realisierbar ist.At least one of the modules of the operating device can advantageously contain a code memory, so that an anti-theft function can be implemented by removing this or one of these modules.

Zum einen handelt es sich dabei um eine Release-Taste 6, durch deren Betätigung der gesamte auf eine Trägerplatte 24 (Figur 4) verrastete Modulträger 5 inklusive der Tasten 6 und 22 freigegeben wird. Somit kann die gesamte Bedieneinrichtung 30 durch Betätigung der Release-Taste 6 vom Λutoradiogerät entnommen werden. Zum anderen handelt es sich dabei um die Flip-Taste 22, durch deren Betätigung der Modulträger 5 in eine Öf ungsposition verschwenkt wird und damit den Zugang zum CD-Laufwerk 25 freigibt.In addition to the elements described, the module carrier 5 also has buttons 6 and 22 which are firmly connected to it. First, it is a release button 6, the actuation of which releases the entire module carrier 5, which is latched onto a carrier plate 24 (FIG. 4), including the keys 6 and 22. Thus, the entire operating device 30 can be removed by pressing the release button 6 from the tutorial radio. On the other hand, this is the flip button 22, by the actuation of which the module carrier 5 is pivoted into an opening position and thus releases access to the CD drive 25.
Der Datentransfer zwischen Bedienelementen sowie Display einerseits und Autoradiogerät 0 andererseits erfolgt über die Steckkontakte 7 und 9 sowie den Datenbus 8, der über Schleifkontakte 23 mit dem eigentlichen Autoradiogeräte-Gehäuse verbunden ist. Die Verbindung ist dann hergestellt, wenn das Trägermodul 5 an die Trägerplatte 24 angeclipst ist und ferner die Bedieneinrichtung 30 den Zugang zum CD-Laufwerk 25 versperrt.The data transfer between the control elements and the display on the one hand and the car radio 0 on the other hand takes place via the plug contacts 7 and 9 and the data bus 8, which is connected to the actual car radio housing via sliding contacts 23. The connection is established when the carrier module 5 is clipped onto the carrier plate 24 and the operating device 30 also blocks access to the CD drive 25.
Das sichere Entnehmen der Module 1 bis 4 wird durch einen Hinterschnitt 19 der Modul-The safe removal of the modules 1 to 4 is ensured by an undercut 19 of the module
Fronten 20 gegenüber der Rahmenfront 21 gewährleistet.Fronts 20 compared to the frame front 21 guaranteed.
Figur 5 zeigt die Aufsicht auf die erfindungsgemäß durch Austausch einzelner Module gemäß den Figuren 2A, 2B, 2C und 2D, hier der Module 2, 3 und 4 modifizierte Bedieneinrichtung 30 des erfindungsgemäßen Fahrzeugsystems, wie sie sich demFIG. 5 shows the top view of the operating device 30 of the vehicle system according to the invention modified by exchanging individual modules according to FIGS. 2A, 2B, 2C and 2D, here modules 2, 3 and 4, as is the case with
Fahrzeugfuhrer bzw. Benutzer bei in die Mittelkonsole des Kraftfahrzeugs eingebautem Gerät 0 darstellt. Hier ist das vom Benutzer besonders häufig benötigte Lautstärke- Steller-Modul 1 besonders griffgünstig positioniert, daneben ist das Display-Modul 4 angeordnet, dessen Positionierung eine gute Ablesbarkeit vom Sitzplatz des Fahrzeugführers aus erlaubt. In der Folge findet sich das Stationstastenmodul 3, auf das vergleichsweise weniger häufig zugegriffen werden muss, da der Fahrzeugfuhrer bevorzugt einen einzigen Rundfunksender hört. Schließlich folgt das Cursor- Wippen- Modul 2, das hauptsächlich zur Bedienung selten benötigter Funktionen, etwa im Zusammenhang mit einer Klangeinstellung über das Audio-Menü (Taste 15) benötigt wird.Vehicle driver or user with device 0 installed in the center console of the motor vehicle. Here, the volume control module 1, which is required particularly frequently by the user, is positioned so that it is within easy reach, and next to it is the display module 4, the positioning of which allows easy reading from the driver's seat. As a result, there is the station button module 3, which has to be accessed comparatively less frequently, since the driver preferably listens to a single radio transmitter. Finally, there is the cursor rocker module 2, which is mainly used to operate rarely required functions, for example in connection with a sound setting via the audio menu (key 15).
Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass zumindest eines der Module 1 bis 4 einen Speicher enthält, in dem ein Diebstahlschutz- bzw. ein Autorisierungscode werksseitig gespeichert ist. Dieser wird bei an den Modulträger 5 angesetztem Modul über die Steckkontakte 7 und 9, den Datenbus 8 und die Schleifkontakte 23 vom Autoradiogerät 0 zumindest bei dessen Inbetriebnahme auf Betätigen des Einschalters oder alternativ in regelmäßigen Abständen abgefragt. Das Autoradio 0 gibt seine Inbetriebnahme bzw. seinen Weiterbetrieb nur dann frei bzw. erhält diesen aufrecht, wenn der aus dem den Speicher enthaltenden Modul abgefragte Code als korrekt, also beispielsweise mit dem im Autoradiogerät gespeicherten Code übereinstimmend erkannt wird. According to a development of the invention, it is provided that at least one of the modules 1 to 4 contains a memory in which an anti-theft or authorization code is stored in the factory. This is when the module is attached to the module carrier 5 via the plug contacts 7 and 9, the data bus 8 and Sliding contacts 23 are queried by the car radio 0 at least when it is started up by actuating the switch or alternatively at regular intervals. The car radio 0 only enables or maintains its commissioning or continued operation if the code queried from the module containing the memory is recognized as correct, that is to say, for example, it matches the code stored in the car radio.
